Remy Ma Slams Lesbian Rumours

The 28-year-old hip-hop star - real name Reminisce Smith - married rapper Papoose in jail shortly after she was convicted of assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion for shooting Makeda Barnes Joseph in the abdomen during a fracas in July, 2007.

She has been dogged by persistent rumours of an affair after a video surfaced online last year (09) allegedly showing Minaj declaring they had a relationship.

But Remy Ma is keen to set the record straight, calling a Connecticut radio station on Tuesday (23Feb10) to clear up the rumours.

She told the Jenny Boom Boom show, "I'm not gay, how would I have sex (with) Nicki Minaj? No, I never had sex with Nicki, anybody. I've never done girls ever in my life and I never would.

"Actually, that video came out years ago. I was home; actually, when it first surfaced, and I don't know who that is. I don't even know what the logic was behind that.

"As far as (what) Nicki (is) like as a person, I'm cool with her. Like, when she was coming up, she used to go to my parties and I used to go to her parties and we was cool (sic). I've never had a problem with her."
